Research Focus
Rashid Bashir’s research group is developing micro- and nanoscale sensors for early diagnostics of cancer and infectious diseases. He is very active in bioengineering education and was the principal investigator of the NIH NCI Alliance for Nanotechnology in Cancer-funded training grant. His research integrates biology and medicine with micro- and nanotechnology in two broad areas: how micro- and nanotechnology can help solve problems in the life sciences (diagnostics and therapeutics) and how the life sciences can help solve issues in micro- and nanotechnology (bio-inspired self-assembly). His research projects span solid-state nanopores to 3D fabrication, reflecting his interest in bionanotechnology, biosensors, bioelectronics, and nanotechnology. Learn more about Rashid Bashir’s lab.
